This might be the wrong thread, but also on the Metroplex box is a green robot that looks like the Trailbreaker mold....people are saying that it is Hoist, but I don't know, it doesn't seem like Hoist to me. It looks like he doesn't have a mouth plate like G1?

Does IDW Hoist design look different? Or did Hoist show up in IDW?

Or could it be someone else?

Yeah, it's Hoist. The new Spotlight kinda confirms it. Guns match too!

Thanks to site sponsor Kapow! Toys we have confirmation that the upcoming Transformers Generations Voyager Class Sandstorm will indeed have a resculpted head and new V-TOL sytle wings! The figure is currently available for pre-order at Kapow! Toys at the following link:

So far this is the only image of Sandstorm, which originates from Generations Metroplex's packaging:

It would be kinda cool to see more Osprey-like vehicles. All we have (if I remember correctly) is Obsidian from Beast Machines, Incinerator from the first movie, and Legends Springer from Revenge of the Fallen.

Don't forget G1 Highbrow, even if his rotors didn't rotate down.

Any reports on changes to the armored car?
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Im glad he gets a new head sculpt but Im not digging the VOTL crap. I felt the springer copter mode was more Sandstorm than it was springer. Are the wings and helicopter blades from Springer interchangable ? I not shipping my POL for a while. If the colors dont look too off, I might consider sacrificing my springer to make a more G1 accurate Sandstorm. I already have Defender which is better scale wise.

Is this supposed to be a retooled Springer? If it is I assume those rotors on the wings form the rear wheels. That way it will look more like a dune buggy

Yes. It's a retooled Springer. We've known this for a pretty long while.
